grateful today

I wanted to meditate this morning.
And while I was sitting, a hard rain swept over the house and was gone, just minutes later.

My brother saw these guys perform and sent me the link. Why is that watching people doing things in unison gives pleasure?

I just read this comforting and down-to-earth article. Reminds me to just be here.

I have not punched anyone in the nose today.

I saw one bat, one mosquito, one goose, two deer, and about a thousand chipmunks. And one very happy dog.

I discovered the music of Ted Hawkins and Adele’s new album this weekend.  Both great.

I’m getting a new co-worker to help manage the workload.

Two fellow students want to research *my* idea for a class project.

An event that keeps getting hung up isn’t dead yet, perhaps we’ll just change the details.  Or maybe we won’t.  Today I feel able to let go of the outcome and just keep doing the tasks.

I too am grateful for stone fruit, in my case in tree form. We planted 3 fruit trees — cherry, peach and plum — and I have the beginning of a home orchard, and already some tiny, hard peaches.

Here’s hoping they’ll ripen and become jam.

I have more than enough money, time, and love today.

I’ve been trying to eat more food that’s local and in season. But recently had to splurge on a bunch of peaches and apricots and plums from far away lands. So delicious!

I’m grateful that I can eat almost anything I want almost any time of year.  My ancestors would probably be down to the last few shriveled apples in May, waiting months for the berries to come in.  Or maybe they would still have some delicious jam left….

OMG I can’t wait!
